Recombinant Human Interleukin 6 (IL6) is a bioactive protein intended for use in cell culture applications. IL6 is a pleotropic cytokine involved in several cellular processes including inflammation, hematopoeisis, and immune response. The lyophilized,
E. coli-expressed IL6 Recombinant Human is verified for activity through dose-dependent proliferation of mouse B9 cells.
•
Highly Pure—minimizes interference from other proteins or contaminants
•
Active—get more results with less protein
High PurityTo help verify that GIBCO™ Recombinant growth factors are of the highest quality, each protein is analyzed for purity, along with structural homogeneity, to help ensure a biologically active protein. The purity of each GIBCO™ recombinant growth factor is verified by SDS-PAGE to be over 95% pure and to have endotoxin levels below 0.1 ng/μg.
High Biological ActivityAll GIBCO™ Recombinant growth factors are verified for activity. Each lot has its own ED50 determined using an activity assay based on a specific function of the growth factor. The activity of our IL6 Recombinant Human growth factor is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse B9 cells to have an ED50 range of 0.008–0.02 ng/mL (specific activity: 1.25 × 10^8–5.0 × 10^7 units/mg). Optimal concentration for individual applications should be determined by a dose response assay.
